Own a masterclass in Swiss precision. This Ref. 168.018 from the late 1960s is a premier example of why the Constellation remains one of the most collected vintage dress watches in the world. The silver sunburst dial radiates light from the center, complemented by applied gold-tone hour markers with black onyx-style inserts. At its heart beats the legendary Omega Caliber 564 — a 24-jewel officially certified chronometer movement with a "pull-push" quickset date. Housed in a sharp gold-capped 34mm case with the iconic Observatory medallion on the case back, this is an investment-grade timepiece ready for any occasion.
